[quote=krishman]@Draception: Beast tamer card is IED, beast tamer link skill is Boss , crit and MP/HP

@AshleyAttacked: Mage IED is calculated a little differently? its MDR (Magic Damage Reduction) vs PDR which is usually less, so we need less IED. But we still need IED,[/quote]
Ah, oki. Ty!

And yeah, I'd use the correct term for PDR as I know PDR is slightly wrong...but then I'd feel like I'm trying to act smarter and more math inclined than I really am. lol.

thanks everyone! esp @krishman

[quote=krishman]@Draception: Its okay, everyone was a scrub at one point or another. IED = Ignore enemy defense. IED is also interchangeable with PDR, PDR = Physical Damage Reduction. Same thing but IED is what you have, and PDR is what the monster has.

I couldn't tell you exactly how it works cause im terrible at math but you need equal or more IED to an enemies PDR to do ur full dmg.
If you have less IED than a monster has PDR then you do less dmg to them.
Monster X has 50% PDR, you need 50 IED or more to do full dmg, or its cut down,[/quote]

Yeah, haha thanks

IED? Sorry I'm scrub.

@tashi: the main Link skills r pretty much the same for all classes, DA, DS, Lumi (yourself), Kanna, Phantom for crit, xenon for all stats, Zero or BT if you have it (which you do). Mihile is optional if you want stance as a lomi tho.

Thanks fellow lumis! Just finished my cannoner and working on the DA; may i also ask what are you character link skill recommendations

I was under the impression that pdr stuff didn't really benefit mages...is that wrong or mage job specific? Curious.

[quote=krishman]^ DA definitely.

Also the character card set you should be using is BT, Lomi, Kanna (8% MP to dmg if theyre S grade). and then the next one should be AB, Shade, Canoneer (IED).[/quote]

BT card says Ignore Monster Def but does that also include bosses?

As said above, the character that would benefit you the most is DA, with %total link skill, and boss damage character card. Afterwards I'd say you should also get a Demon Slayer or Mechanic. DS for the %boss link skill, and semi-useful abnormal status resist card. Mechanic for buff duration card (which I'm not sure if that affects equillibrium, don't know much about lumi)

Assuming you go with DA and dont have any slots after that, I would do;
AB+Cannon+Shade (6% PDR, and 3%? min/max crit from shade)
Kanna+Beast Tamer+Luminous (The 3 Mage effect is mediocre, but you can't really pass up the stats those cards give individually [boss+defense ignore+int])
Mercedes+Zero+DA (No set effect, but the skill cooldown will help with equillibrium I believe, then exp+boss is always good)
AB or Cannon could be replaced with Mechanic to retain the defense ignore but also give the buff duration.

^ DA definitely.

Also the character card set you should be using is BT, Lomi, Kanna (8% MP to dmg if theyre S grade). and then the next one should be AB, Shade, Canoneer (IED).

You definitely need Demon Avenger (3% boss dmg card @ lvl 100...15% boss dmg for link mule)
